Spraypainting the reflector will ruin the reflector. And the out the front lumens will drop big time. Better off with a dfiffuser. Unscrew the bezel, and cut somethig semi transparant plastic to put on top of the lense. That way the reflector will still guide the light out of the light, and the diffuser will diffuse.I've had a similar thought. OP wont be much different for what you want to do with it. If you insist on using a C8 using a diffuse lens would make a bigger difference than pebbled reflector. Depending what your current emitter is, changing that out can affect it, eg a 219b vs XPL-Hi
if you want to experiment, try spray painting the reflector white, I'm super curious what that does.

You think so? The Zebralight mules and HDS flood reflectors are basically white reflectors.

It will still be a thrower. Do as ven suggest. Buy something with a smaller reflector. The smaller reflector, the more floody the beam gets. The larger a reflector gets, the more focused and throwy. The manker e14 or astrolux s41 are kickass lights for around the house. Lights up the whole room, no matter witch way you point it
They are mules. The "reflector" on a mule is only some mm deep. Throwers got deep reflectors. And if you paint it white expect to loose ~ 50%. Same with zoom lights. When zoomed you loose ~ 50% because the led emits too mutch light sideways, and that light wont hit the asperic lense. A deep, painted, reflector will block most of the light that is emitted sideways. So you will end up with only the spill getting out. Spill is the light that dont hit the reflector. The rest of a lights beam is from the light that hits reflector. So if you paint the reflector, you will only get the spill.You think so?
